The Bird Advocacy Foundation (BAF) is an Australian registered charity and a proud partner of an innovative and revolutionary project that serves to protect our wildlife with non-invasive technology that solves the many challenges humans experience with our native wildlife, without extreme measures such as inhumane mass slaughter.
Native Australian cockatoo species, corellas, are currently under threat across our country. BAF is working with local councils to implement a special technology that manages our bird species, without harming them.
BAF has been working with a number of Regional Councils across Australia who are supportive and excited about the benefits the Alternative Feeding Roosting and Recreation Location (AFRRL) system can offer in managing local bird wildlife. Many of these councils are working to prepare designated native habitats to support the implementation of the initiative, rather than consider inhumane and unethical bird-management methods.
BAF is seeking to provide support to councils who commit to this conservation strategy, by way of funding sourced through community fundraising efforts. Funds raised will contribute to the costs associated with purchasing and implementing the AFRRL system, as well as preparing the communities for ongoing management.
